Jesus preaches his inaugural message in his hometown, but it provokes quite a reaction. Having just watched the celebrations and listened to numerous speeches surrounding the inauguration of President Biden in the U.S.A., I thought we should look at Luke’s gospel this Sunday, when Jesus returns to preach in Nazareth, his home town. It's the inauguration of his public ministry and he give quite an inaugural message to his hometown synagogue. It provokes quite a powerful and surprising reaction. The passage is Luke 4:14-30.
